Fallout 3 Hints
My Explosives skill isn't high enough to interact with the bomb!
1 of 4: If your Explosives skill isn't 25 or higher, use a mentats item to give it a temporary +10 boost.
2 of 4: That still may not be enough, since mentats effects don't stack, and they can't take your Perception above 10.
3 of 4: If your unenhanced Explosives skill is less than 15, you'll have to wait to continue this quest until you level up again, at which time you'll need to get your Explosives skill up to 15.
4 of 4: Or if you're willing to make a long and dangerous trip, you could go get the Explosives Bobblehead.
